Le invitamos a ser parte de nuestra Grand Gala 2024 que se llevará a cabo el sábado, 24 de agosto de 2024 en el Centro de Convenciones de Puerto Rico. En este magno evento, celebraremos la vida de miles de personas que vencieron el cáncer, y reconoceremos a pacientes que están dando la lucha y a sus cuidadores. Todos los recaudos de este evento continuarán apoyando y fortaleciendo nuestros diversos programas y servicios en la isla como lo son el Puerto Rico Hope Lodge y su Hogar Niños Que Quieren Sonreír (albergue que provee alojamiento libre de costo a niños y adultos pacientes con cáncer que necesitan acudir al área metropolitana para recibir su tratamiento), la Beca José M. Berrocal para jóvenes universitarios sobrevivientes de cáncer, y la Beca Pre Universitaria Luis Montañez.
As the only organization combating cancer through advocacy, discovery, and patient support, the American Cancer Society has made significant contributions to the fight against cancer over the last 110 years. We advocate for lifesaving policy changes, promote healthy lifestyles to help prevent cancer, and provide information, answers, and support to people in every community who have been touched by cancer. We also research cancer and its causes to find more answers and better treatment.
Yet, there is still work to be done – which is why we are so glad you have joined us tonight! The American Cancer Society continues to work tirelessly to fund research and provide support for all types of cancer. And thanks to your generous support, we work to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
Every cancer. Every life.
For more than 10 decades, the American Cancer Society has been dedicated to pursuing better outcomes for every cancer, every life. Today, more people are surviving cancer than ever before, but there is still work to be done. Join us, support us, and help us end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
